Procedures
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery is currently the most popular weight loss procedure around the world.
​
The operation involves removing 80-90% of your stomach, resulting in a new stomach volume of approximately half a cup (100-150ml).
​
A smaller stomach means that you can only eat a small amount of food and it is therefore considered a “restrictive” operation.
Gastric Bypass
The one anastomosis gastric bypass is also called the mini gastric bypass or single anastomosis gastric bypass.
​
This involves the creation of a new stomach (from your original stomach) and joining a loop of small bowel to the new stomach. Food and fluid bypass the original stomach and part of the small bowel.
​
Weight loss occurs due to a restriction in oral intake, malabsorption of nutrients, and alterations to the actions of gut hormones on the bowel.
Revisional Surgery
If you have had previous weight loss surgery and developed a complication, revisional surgery may be an option.
​
The type of revision will be depended on your previous surgery and the problem you present with including the need to have a number of investigations to help identify any problems which can be fixed with surgery.
Costs will be dependent on difficulty of the revision.
